The show itself is around 700 hours. You don't have to watch it all at once, but by the end that'a how much time you'll have lost, roughly.

This reads like it was written by someone who hasn't heard of Popper's paradox of tolerance.
"If we’re asked to tolerate an idea or policy that operates at the expense of someone else’s existence or well-being — i.e., any supremacist ideology, or any other thought that threatens someone’s existence on basis of identity — our obligation is actually not to tolerate it, in the name of maintaining democratic ideals."
Further we need a government or system big/strong enough to allow for this.

Ill talk specifically about the US because it is the most well known but you will find similar experiences throughout the world. The 1960s civil rights movement has been sanitised by modern education white media as a peaceful transition, it was anything but. Race riots were getting out of hand and the unrest spread across the United states. Turns out when you systemtically discriminate against a group of people for long enough those people get sick of it. When they get sick of it for long enough they justifiably become violent.
The civil rights act wasn't an act of compassion or a concession made to the civil rights movement because it was the right thing to do. It was fought for and won by violence.

It's actually a pretty well made show. You can watch in seasons like any other show. Mandatory 700 hrs is false.

It is used as a name, but it has a meaning.

Hey, i know that guy. He was in the nightmarish 700 hour long turkish drama about that 13th century turkish war hero everyone in turkey likes.
One of the better characters, gave a break from the cyclical drama to impart some wisdom.
Ertugrul's Resurrection is equal parts hilarious, great, and awful. Don't watch it unless you have a spare 700 hours lying around.

Id partially agree. Polyamory does have more inherent risk but it also has more reward if you get it right. There is definitely more room to get it wrong. Id disagree though that there is anything inherent wrong or worse about multiple person relationships than 2 person.
Edit: also polyamory doesn't need to be one relationship with more than 2 people. It can also be a single person being in multiple one on one relationships at the same time.

It's not what I would consider the "greatest union". More often than not, they end poorly and there's always some kind of imbalance. People can make them work but I think there's a special kind of commitment and trust between 2 dedicated partners that isn't present in polyamory.

Where did you go to school?
A business degree yes but a liberal arts approach creates according to our right wing fellow citizens communist lefties...
You have an ax to grind so statuse quo bromides means nothing. be specific you do have a position but this is no argument.

Alright, you’ve satisfied me that you know what entropy is at least. I jest, placating gesture.😅
I decided to look into these immortal organisms, and none of them are truly immortal. Even the regenerating jellyfish have been observed to fully die source. Tardigrades too. Even you wrote appear and seemingly.
Animals can extend life through various means, but not forever, organisms aren’t built to last, species are.
>encoded in dna not nature of reality
I regret to inform you that dna exists in reality so it absolutely is bound by its nature. This can explain how copying mistakes are made, etc.
Even certain animals without telomeres can’t live forever.
Aside from all that, predation, disease, and injuries are also related to entropy and the nature of reality.
To your point about causing other entropy to increase in order to decrease our own, that goes to my point about eating.
Even the highest quality foodstuffs can’t reverse the aging process, no matter how much energy is pumped in. This has to do with more than just telomeres (although I addressed those already). Aging is a complex process that needs to be further understood.
I’m optimistic about the future of aging science and technology also, we should shoot for the stars! But we should be pragmatic about the realities of being an organism.

Couldn't disagree with this more. They had to criminalise discrimination because it was destroying society.

I think there are just a lot of social conservatives in this sub who get angry at queer people existing and women having rights.

No, from universities that teach them to believe all the beliefs that benefit the urban elite. That they think that believing in status quo bromides reflective only of blindly repeated talking points makes them clever critical thinkers is, of course, what makes them so intolerable to everyone else.

Im not sure I understand. What method are you talking about? I'm just talking about polyamory, i.e. dating multiple people at once.

You’re heart is in the right place, but your methods will not move the needle towards the right direction.
Best of luck!

Excellent article! Has overtones of tantra, imo. Thanks for sharing.
Oh! And I wish you a merry christmas. 😀
